The main instruments for rock stars are guitar, drums, microphone, and sometimes piano, depending on the style of music like country, rock, or blues. Some musicians are naturally talented, but most need hours of practice and lessons - singers see vocal coaches, guitarists study with instructors, and drummers take drumming lessons. Rock stars get paid per performance and based on album sales rather than a salary. Many rock stars live wild lifestyles partying all night and using popular drugs like heroin, cocaine, and pills, though substance abuse is not required to be a successful musician.
